Roisin Cardigan is the sister design to the Roisin Sweater, featuring the same distinctive texture in a versatile, easy-to-wear cardigan. Worked seamlessly from the top down, the button band is knitted simultaneously with the body, so once your knitting is finished, you only need to add buttons and your cardigan is ready to wear.

As with the Roisin Sweater, the pattern includes two options for the yoke depth, allowing you to choose the fit that suits you best.

The body and sleeves are worked in garter stitch, keeping purl stitches to a minimum and creating a calm, rhythmic knitting experience that balances the more intricate yoke.

My sample is shown with a generous positive ease of approximately 40 cm / 15.75”, but you can easily adjust the look by choosing the size that gives you your preferred finished chest circumference.

PATTERN NOTES:
• The cardigan is worked flat, in one piece from the top down.
• You start with the round yoke work according to charts, then you separate for body and sleeves, work short rows to add height to the upper back thus shaping the neckline,
• After that, you work the body flat and the sleeves in the round.
• The buttonband is worked together with the body, so you only will have to attach buttons and weave in ends after knitting, no additional work is needed.

SKILLS REQUIRED:
• basics (cast on/bind off, knit/purl, increase/decrease)
• Italian tubular cast on and bind off (written instructions with link to video tutorial are provided)
• short rows
